...but the more important letters are the P & I...
Actually not. Agreed that if you are flying, it is your problem to solve right now. Later, if you are still among the living, it becomes someone else's problem.

But the causative factor is really a problem in control design that can be overcome by the control design engineers.

If you blame yourself for the problem (when you find it) and don't write it up, it won't get fixed. As long as the maintenance folks have not changed the way the aircraft flies by ill-advised maintenance, the problem belongs with the certifying authority and the guys and girls with slide rules.
